Biography

With her rich, throaty voice and blend of orchestrated pop and modern indie-rock, New Jersey-bred singer/songwriter Nicole Atkins initially cut her teeth in the New York songwriter and club scene. Along with her backing band, the Sea, she landed a deal with Columbia to release her 2007 debut, Neptune City. Eventually Atkins went solo, developing her noir pop sound to include varied influences like psychedelic, country, and electronic over the course or several well-regarded indie releases. In addition to her own work, she has collaborated with A.C. Newman, David Byrne, and others. ~ Timothy Monger
